“The Right Amount of Natural”—ARM & HAMMER™ Essentials Toothpaste is Made with 100% Natural Baking Soda and Clinically Proven Benefits

For more than 170 years, ARM & HAMMER™ (Church & Dwight Co., Inc.) has been the original baking soda toothpaste brand for professionals and consumers alike. Now, they are extending their purity standard once again by adding new Essentials Toothpaste to their existing Essentials product line.

In addition to cleaning and cooking, baking soda has always been the go-to ingredient for healthy oral care. To prove just how powerful its clinical benefits are, The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) published research on baking soda toothpaste. JADA confirms “the results of the literature show that baking soda-containing dentifrices are ideal candidates to be considered as a universal dentifrice.”¹ Further clinical studies support that ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda Toothpastes remove up to 5X more plaque in hard-to-reach areas versus a non-baking soda toothpaste²; neutralize plaque acids fast with a pH of about 8.4³; and have greater stain reduction versus a non-baking soda toothpaste^4*.

New ARM & HAMMER™ Essentials Toothpaste is the latest oral care solution from the iconic brand and is made with just the right amount of natural. This means it has all the great benefits of 100% natural baking soda combined with clinically proven benefits. This includes fluoride for caries prevention and naturally sourced calcium for repair of the enamel surface: the essentials. It is also free of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), peroxide, preservatives, parabens, artificial sweeteners, and dyes. The new toothpaste variety offers two options for dental professionals: ARM & HAMMER™ Essentials Whiten & Strengthen Fluoride Toothpaste and Essentials Healthy Teeth & Gums Fluoride Toothpaste.
